  • Analysis of the galaxy size versus stellar mass relation
    The scatter in the galaxy size versus stellar mass (M ⋆) relation gets largely reduced when, rather than the half-mass radius R e, the size at a fixed surface density is used. Here, we address why this happens. We show how a reduction is to be expected because any two galaxies with the same M ⋆ have at least one radius with identical surface

  • An artificial impact on the asteroid (162173) Ryugu formed a crater in the gravity-dominated regime
    The Hayabusa2 spacecraft investigated the small asteroid Ryugu, which has a rubble-pile structure. We describe an impact experiment on Ryugu using Hayabusa2’s Small Carry-on Impactor. The impact produced an artificial crater with a diameter >10 meters, which has a semicircular shape, an elevated rim, and a central pit. Images of the impact and

  • ADVANCES IN RADIOMETERS AND SPECTROPOLARIMETERS FOR COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND EXPERIMENTS
    The scientific motivation of this thesis is to surpass some limitations in the state-of-the-art radiometers and spectropolarimeters used in Cosmic Microwave Background observations. The document follows the Three Papers Format of PhD theses. The first article, entitled A High Sensitivity Fourier Transform Spectrometer for Cosmic Microwave

  • A new spectroscopic analysis of the massive O + O type binary HD 54662 AB
    HD 54662 AB is one of the three O + OB binaries known so far with orbital period longer than 1000 d, offering the opportunity to test scenarios of massive star formation and models of single stellar evolution. Here, we present a detailed study of this system based on new high-resolution spectra and data. A disentangling method is used to recover

  • When the disc's away, the stars will play: dynamical masses in the nova-like variable KR Aur with a pinch of accretion
    We obtained time-resolved optical photometry and spectroscopy of the nova-like variable KR Aurigae in the low state. The spectrum reveals a DAB white dwarf (WD) and a mid-M dwarf companion. Using the companion star's i-band ellipsoidal modulation we refine the binary orbital period to be P = 3.906519 ± 0.000001 h. The light curve and the spectra
